First slide says something along the lines of "boo, i just use adblock" and the second one should make sense
WEI has a lot of issues and should not ever be implemented, but it's not going to stop you from using ad blockers, nor could it be made to do so.
The issues with it are that it makes it much easier to individually track users and it will make it nearly impossible for new browsers to gain traction.
Not directly, but indirectly it can. By simply just blocking browsers that allow meaningful ad blocking. And not just ad blocking, but it can be applied to any kinds of user-side modifications.
